Oct 8 ENRICHED — CVE-2026-98133 (Linux). Received CVSS 5.5 and CPE data from NVD.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs: leave HasEA flag untouched on setxattr failure
In ntfs_set_ea(), the exit path unconditionally updates the HasEA
flag based on ea_info_qsize. When an error occurs before
ea_info_qsize is updated, NInoClearHasEA() hides existing on-disk
EAs until the inode is evicted.
Only update the flag on success.
